A BELT FOR SULLIVAN.

since he had been before the public he had
done his best to uphold his patriotic attach

WHEN the bulls and bears compare
notes at the close of the year, they will
agree that this has been disastrous sea-
son for corners The latest clique to
collapse is the one formed in San Fran :
CISCO. 1t was organized to bull wheat,
and 1t did so successfully until yesterday,
when the bears acted in concert, knock
ing prices down a few points, aud then
the bull structure tumbled. The losses
cannot be estimated at this writing, but
they are certainly heavy. The Cincinnati
bank deal in wheat was the first big fur
~ of the year. 1t wrecked every bull
attached to it. and the Chicago bears
were made delirlous by success. Then
came the collapse of the coffee corner in
New York, a furry in the Manhattan
stocks, the breaking up of the prune syn
dictate, tumble in oil and the hopeless
swampiug of the blackberry boom in cen
trial and northern OHIO. Even old SoPs
attempt to margin and fuse the earth
seems to have come to naught

TUscoLA, Ills, Aug "A spark from a

fields of H. P. Perkins, living west of this

great deal of railway fencing was destroyed
also. These fires are becoming so frequent

Foolish &0utherners

Inefe are plumbers tnat are worse IMAM
crimes, and bill passed by the lower
house of the Georgia legislature the 9TH
er day is certainly included in that cate
CORY. The bill provides that no school
or other educational institution conduct
ed for the education of colored people
shall receive rs pupil any white person,
and that no school or educational institu-
ton conducted for the education of white
people shall receive as pupil any col
orpd person. ANY teacher or manager of
said institutions violating this act shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor. punished by
fine not to exceed 81, 000 Imprisonment
not to exceed six months, or work on
chain gang not to exceed twelve months,
any or all, in the discretion of the court
If the institution is chartered not only
the teachers. but the president, secretary,
members of the board of trustees, or
other persons filling the corresponding
offices. who shall knowingly permit this
act to be violated. are subject to indict
ment and punishment.
Such bill as the above is atrociously
unjust and barbarous. Apparently it
applies not only to public schools, but
to private institutions as well. 1t is diff
ficult TO see what concerns it is of the
state of Georgia if the manager of
private school chooses to teach both
white and colored children. Considered
merely as a matter of party policy. the
democratic members of the Georgia legis-
lature should have been wise enough to
refrain from thus displaying their hatred
of the negro race. Their action will be
quoted by every republican paper in the
north as proof of the antiquated, bour>
bonic, ante bellum spirit that still con-
trolls the southern mind. The south is
foolish to thus arm its enemies in the
north with weapons against itself.
Almost as un1ise as the Georgians are
the Virginians who met in state cOnven-
ton on Thursday. On one hand they en-
dorse the partial reputation of the state
debt, and on the other they want the state
ofVirginia toliberally provide for disabled
soldiers, (rebel soldiers no doubt are meant
IS union soldiers are provided for by the
national government) and declare
that in the future the state should pro-
vide for the INDECENT widows of soldiers
who fell on the field of battle or died
from the effects of wounds received in
defense of the state"-that is to say,
wounds received in the cause of the slave
holders rebellion. Certainly it is not
pleasing programme to northern ears that
the Virginians propose-to deprive the
states creditors of a portion of their just
dues on the plea of poverty, but yet find
sufficient money to "liberally" pension
rebel soldiers Among other radical
propositions they sanction are the claim
for compensation from congress for Vir
ginias donations of territory, and for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the state by the for
nation of West Virginia; also for the
abolition of the tax ON whisky and to-
bacco-all internal revenue taxes, in fact
- and the consequent perpetuation of the
present tariff inquiry. The position of
the Virginia democrats upon these sub
jeets is not likely to meet with enthusiast
tic approval from the democracy of the
north
